    8N fender brackets for mounting lights

    If t'were me I wouldn't bend the bracket because that would put the light mounting base off square to the ground. so if you wanted to redirect the light beam by turning the light, your adjustment would deviate from the straight side to side directional adjustment of the beam. Drill a new hole...

    I'm buying it: 1951 Ford 8N

    Hmmm . . . Could that explain the many reported broken bendix's which has always been a mystery to me since joining this forum. As mentioned, in my 6 volt van I power the starter with a 12 volt but because I engage and retract the bendix manually that solenoid force is eliminated. I cut a slot...

    I'm buying it: 1951 Ford 8N

    I second that emotion as well. It has become trendy and an image of an ignition panacea, as though there was always something deficient about the points system. Points rotor and cap are a piece of cake to maintain. I'd get your tractor all spruced up and running right before concluding that...

    Dearborn Plow

    In 1971 I borrowed a trolly jack from the village Esso station boss to take home and add a leaf to my '58 Mercury pickup's rear springs. A friend came by while I was using it and asked where I got the jack. When I told him the owner of the Esso station loaned it to me he acted shocked and...

    Dearborn Plow

    My single bottom Ford 110 coulter finds & cuts its own path in front of the plowshare. Didn't think any needed limiter chains.

    Help!

    Take your carb off and find out why the needle valve stayed open. (?)

    Water pump kit

    There's a new place called Yesterday's Tractors. ;) The pump itself is $50. (wiser move than wasting time and money rebuilding) and all the necessary parts like hoses and gaskets and thermostat are available there too. Or complete kits with the pump already rebuilt...

    What's the purpose?

    P.S. When I first tried those emerg brakes, I found that just pushing on the pedal might not effect a release, especially if you pushed down hard to lock them in the first place. What I found was that it takes a serious boot heal stab or blow to the brake pedal, as opposed to just a sustained...

    Yet another paint code question 8N….Sorry!

    Actually my rim in the photo is exactly the same shade as my centers but one pic was taken in the shop and the rim shot was out in the sunlight.

    What's the purpose?

    I find them very useful, work perfectly and use my right side one whenever I want to get off the tractor but leave the engine running. If you're going to turn the engine off then the tranny is your emergency brake. Keep those levers clean, oiled lightly and free to drop back down when you quick...

    Yet another paint code question 8N….Sorry!

    Hobo, That's funny and exactly what I do with mine for the same reasons. I used IHC for my red running boards. Can't remember what Valspar red I used for my seat assembly . . . . anything but Vermillion. ;)

    Yet another paint code question 8N….Sorry!

    The left shot shows the greenish tinge. Hard to capture the actual color; they al look different.

    Yet another paint code question 8N….Sorry!

    I took the hood to the auto parts store to have the paint digitally analyzed and the software recognized it as Ford Grey. The color is perfect and after three spray gun coats the paint has depth, looks rich and shiny -- and importantly is nice and hard. I used hardener too of course. The rim...
